What is tetracycline

summary

Tetracycline tooth disease is not common in daily life, so many people don't know much about it. Next, I'll explain what tetracycline tooth is.

What is tetracycline

First of all, tetracycline drugs taken during the mineralization period of tooth development can be combined into the tooth tissue to make the teeth colored. Tetracycline can form a stable tetracycline orthophosphate complex with tooth tissue, which can inhibit the nucleation and crystal growth of mineralization process. Tooth coloring is permanent.

Secondly, after suffering from tetracycline teeth, there will be obvious yellow stains on the teeth, which are difficult to clean, and this disease will cause people's teeth to be fragile and easy to break.

Finally, the visible light composite resin restoration method can refer to the treatment of dental fluorosis, but only 0.1 mm of labial enamel can be removed or no teeth can be removed, because tetracycline staining is mainly in the dentin. If more enamel layers are ground, or even the dentin is exposed, it will not only aggravate the background color, but also seriously affect the bonding stability. For tetracycline stained teeth, this method is not satisfactory because of the poor shading effect.

matters needing attention

After the appearance of tetracycline teeth, we must pay attention to our oral hygiene in our daily life. We should brush our teeth sooner or later. In terms of diet, we should try not to eat dark food, and do not smoke. Smoking can also lead to the yellowing of teeth.
